You may have heard what your client, boss or co-worker just said. But were you really listening?
In this edition of Smith Business Close-Up with the University of Maryland’s Robert H. Smith School of Business, Ken White talks about what it means to actively listen and how mastering this skill can help your career.
White is the executive director of the Office of Marketing Communications and holds a Ph.D. in communication. He is a branding expert and teaches executive courses on communications. He previously served as the chief communication and marketing officer at the University of Virginia's Darden School of Business, the Virginia Military Institute and Northwest Missouri State University. A former television anchor and reporter, he began his career in higher education as a mass communication professor and department chair.
Smith Business Close-Up is co-produced by the Robert H. Smith School of Business and Maryland Public Television. The television segment focuses on the latest thinking in business management, and features in-depth interviews with Smith School faculty and other members of the school’s community of business leaders.
